Current team at Oregon State University
Jamie is the lab PI who tries to keep the lab funded, operational, and fun!
Research Technician who joined the lab to learn about all things immunotoxicity. Elena has a wealth of cell-based and experimental model experience and is working to support research efforts in the DeWitt Lab!
Technical Assistant who also joined the lab to learn about all things immuntoxicity. Amanda is working to become a full-fledged toxicologist and is the anchor that keeps the lab happy, organized, and fed!
Doctoral student who is focused on the effects of PFAS exposure on B cell development. Macon will be our flow cytometer expert as she dives into the deep waters of B cells!
Doctoral student who will be describing the immunotoxicity of complex long-chain chlorinated PFAS that have not yet been well-studied.
MS student who is working to evaluate different dosing media to see if they affect PFAS uptake and/or excretion.
MS student who is evaluating the immunotoxicity of a dermally-applied PFAS that has relevance to firefighters.
Others in the lab not pictured:
Ashtyn Williams, MS student who will be starting medical school in the fall! Her project focuses on retaining natural killer cytotoxicity in splenic lymphocytes after different freeze-thaw protocols.
Kolette Miller, undergraduate student who is working on developing a method for measuring natural killer cell cytotoxicity from natural killer cells found in blood.
Ekansh Gupta, undergraduate honors student who is working on describing B cell bioenergetics.
Nick Sousou, undergraduate student who is in charge of various enzymatic assays to understand how different PFAS affect the activity of a specific enzyme.
Laila Major, undergraduate honors student who is working on macrophage infiltration in skin samples that were treated with a PFAS.
